dmm, I don't have one.

I think with the Belle and the Orion something like this might be do-able.

Memphis Amp:

Ch1+2 = tweets.

Ch2+3 = EF-61CF mids.

Ch5 = EF-8's.

As I'm sure you are already aware, the Baby Belle has the capability to have the LP/HP xovers set to 40 - 6000 Hz with either a 12 or 18 dB slope on Ch 1-4. Only possible drawback = you are limited to a LP 250 Hz max on the 5th channel. While this would be good for pronouncing things like kick drum skin tone (up to around 170-200 Hz) and the lower spectrum of bass guitars (can be as low at 17 Hz, but generally the lowest tuning is 41 Hz), it's not going to allow for much else. I'm a midbass freak and a metal head, so this would actually be music to my ears!

Orion:

Use for sub(s)

You can get a DMM from wal-mart, lowe's, sears

I knew what it stood for, just never used one, and didn't know where to get them. Didn't want to run to Wally World or Radio Shack or wherever if they didn't have them. Thanks.

both those places have them. It's a good tool to have because it can help diagnose problems, set gains, etc.

Great except for the fact that the imaging would be messed up by the midbasses being in mono vice stereo, which is where this whole thread started.

Yes I know... it was just a suggestion.

I'd get a passive crossover so you can run the components without tying up four channels. Crossing the midbass over so low that they aren't directional seems like a waste to me and putting them in mono crossed high would sound terrible.

Tough to get what you want out of that setup without going out and buying some more equipment.

You can't run an active system using a passive crossover noob.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Implicit in my response was throwing out the idea of running active. But that's not what he wants to do so forget about it.

he is me, genius.

If I didn't want to go active, I wouldn't have said I wanted to go active.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Whatever bro, run your midbass in mono at least you can say you'll be the only one doing it.

I don't plan on it. The whole reason I started this thread is to see if I could get away with it. I obviously found out I can't, so I need to buy another amp. Once again //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/read.gif.ff512c499c00ed3faae9a20f4b088b29.gif
